Adriana Grant: electricity as art

Step out of the elevator onto the 30th floor of the Seattle Municipal Tower and you’ll encounter a wall of porcelain light bulbs, an installation by Yuki Nakamura. This is one of seven art installations commissioned with Seattle City Light 1 Percent for Art funds and administered by the Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs. Sited in elevator lobbies on seven floors (28-30 and 33-36) occupied by the utility, the exhibit’s audience is mainly Seattle City Light employees, whose work provides the theme.
